I'm on the email list for Dark Matter coffee and received this in my inbox today: Big Hugs Release Party Sunday, December 15th at Half Acre Beer Tap Room This year also marks the 5th release of our collaboration beer with Half Acre Brewing, Big Hugs! Join us at the Half Acre Tap Room, 4257 N Lincoln Ave, Chicago, IL 60618 More details to follow. Moaaaar stouts!
Half Acre and Dark Matter have done a great job with this release every year. I'm glad it's on a Sunday again - no way I can take off for a Friday or Saturday release during the holiday season. I'll be there for sure.
I'm glad it's not on the same day as 4 elf. Not my favorite but well above average. I think I will have a 4 or 5 year vert of this now. #humblebrag

Release Details Release Date: Sunday, December 15th, 2013 10% ABV 22 oz bomber bottle: $10.99 (Limit 6) 64 ounce growler: $22 tax included (limited to 64 ounces of growler beer per person.) 32 ounce growler: $12 tax included (limited to 64 ounces of growler beer per person.) 13 ounce glass in the Tap Room: $6.00
is anyone else's head exploding at the fact that the growler/bomber/bottle price all line-up and seem logical?
I looked back at the 2011 and 2012 prices, and the cost for the bombers this year actually went DOWN by $1. Stop the presses!
If anyone is looking for a bottle or two and can't make it let me know and we can work something out.
Dunno what happened the first time I tried it, but I just had some of this year's and it was excellent.
